### Added

 - Add unit tests for the Get-LocalizedData, NewTerminatingError, and
   Assert-Module helper functions.
 - Added description README files for each resource.
 - Add example files for resources

 - Added the build task `Publish_GitHub_Wiki_Content` to publish content
   to the GitHub repository wiki.
 - Added new source folder `WikiSource` which content will be published
   to the GitHub repository wiki.
   - Add the markdown file `Home.md` which will be automatically updated
     with the latest version before published to GitHub repository wiki.
 - Updated the prerequisites in the GitHub repository wiki (`Home.md`)
   that _Microsoft DNS Server_ is required on a node targeted by a resource,
   and that the DSC resources requires the [DnsServer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dnsserver)
   PowerShell module ([issue #37](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/37)).
- xDNSServerClientSubnet
 - Added integration tests.
- xDnsRecordSrv
 - Added new resource to manage SRV records
- xDnsServerPrimaryZone

### Changed

- xDnsServer
 - Resolve style guideline violations for hashtables
 - Update pipeline files.
 - Renamed the default branch to `main` ([issue #131](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/131)).
 - Uses `PublishPipelineArtifact` in  _Azure Pipelines_ pipeline.
 - Unit tests are now run in PowerShell 7 in the _Azure Pipelines_
   pipeline ([issue #160](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/160)).
 - Merged the historic changelog into CHANGELOG.md ([issue #163](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/163)).
- xDnsRecordSrv
 - Now uses `[CimInstance]::new()` both in the resource code and the resource
   unit test to clone the existing DNS record instead of using the method
   `Clone()` that does not exist in PowerShell 7.
- xDnsServerSetting
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
   parameter `DnsServer`. This prevents the resource from being used twice
   in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter `DnsServer`
   ([issue #156](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/156)).
- xDnsServerDiagnostics
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
   parameter `DnsServer`. This prevents the resource from being used twice
   in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter `DnsServer`
   ([issue #157](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/157)).
- xDnsServerPrimaryZone
 - Now the property `Name` is always returned from `Get-TargetResource`
   since it is a `Key` property.

### Removed

- xDnsServer
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The DSC resource xDnsARecord was removed and are replaced
   by the DSC resource xDnsRecord.
 - Removing resource parameter information from README.md in favor of
   GitHub repository wiki.

   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #166](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/166)).
 - Remove helper function `ConvertTo-CimInstance` in favor of the one in
   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #167](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/167)).
 - Remove helper function `ConvertTo-HashTable` in favor of the one in
   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #168](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/168)).

### Fixed
